Hi,
I recently upgraded my CPU from 13900 to 14900KS. but I don't know how or if this is related to my problem or not.

I have used Clonezilla for many years, and on this machine I do a monthly image of the entire M.2 NVME boot drive, which is 1 TB. It consists of two main partitions, one containing only WIN 11, and the other containing installed apps, as well as the other special Windows partitions found on a boot drive.

The total used space on this drive, including both partitions, is approximately 150-180GB. Normally the disk image is around 80GB, and has been for a long time. This month, all I have changed is the CPU, and updated WIN 11 to 25H2 from 24H2.

When I noticed that the imaging was taking a longer time than usual, I allowed it to finish and checked to see that the size of the completed image is now 408GB, which is 5 times the size I expected.

Bitlocker is, and always was, disabled. The machine does not hibernate. Can you please advise what else can cause this? If you need more information, I will provide it. Perhaps the ocslogs would be helpful? I looked at them and really can't find anything different.

Version is clonezilla-live-3.2.2-15-amd64, run from USB.

Thanks very much
